I could see how she did things by herself
[It seems that everything went well]
When Aria entered the room, the two of us hastily distanced ourselves.
[A-Aria… .this is… ..]
[It’s okay. I know everything. I was the one who encouraged Cruxie]
I thought so.
[If I didn’t do this, you wouldn’t have accepted Cruxie, right? You are surprisingly stubborn after all]
I can’t deny that.
[…… Besides, I couldn’t bear it. Cruxie was attracted to you for a while, and had to contain her feelings because of me, it seemed somewhat unfair.]
I see.
[That’s why I thought Cruxie might be a girl. Because no matter how you look at it, she has the face of a girl]
[Really?]
[There’s also the possibility that she was a boy of that type]
I’m glad it wasn’t like that ……
[There’s one more reason I thought she might be a girl… ..]
Aria said it in a kind of difficult way to say.
[… ..When we slept inside the tent in the dungeon… .. I could see how Cruxie did things by herself]
[Uwaaaaaaaaaaa! You saw it? You saw it!?]
…… R-Really?
I didn’t realize that at all.
Because I was completely looking the other way ……
[Yes. I am sorry. But, I didn’t tell you about it.]
[I-It’s too embarrassing! B-But it’s your fault for starting to do it there! Why did you start having se-se-se… while I was asleep near both of you !?]
[What? We didn’t do any of that]
[Yes tlyou did it! I didn’t see it, but I heard strange noises!]
[It was just a kiss ……]
Even if i says it like that, it was something too deep to express it… ..
[I-It can’t be. Just with a kiss… .make that kind of noise….]
Then, Cruxie made a surprised face.
[…..That’s how it went]
Looks like she remembered what happened last night.
This is how things were… ..
[Uhh… .ah, I didn’t know there was that way of kissing… ..]
Cruxie had a face so red with embarrassment that it seemed like she would lose consciousness right now.
[B-But how did you know I was a girl with just that?]
[Because… ..when a boy does it, his hand movements are like this]
Aria specifically showed it with her right hand.
[Y-Yes….]
Certainly, unlike girls, for boys it is necessary to move their hands a lot, but… ..
[Why do you know that, Aria….?]
[… ..During the entrance exam, Lucas was doing it secretly]
[Hey!]
You knew!?
To think that she saw such a thing …
I held my head and fell into that place.
It’s too embarrassing.
If there is a hole, I want to go in there.
『Hm? Do you want to go in if there is a hole? 』
You shut up.
Then it took about twenty minutes for Cruxie and I to recover.
*
[Well, thank you again, Cruxie. I feel like we are really partners now]
[Aria-san… ..it will be my pleasure anyway!]
Aria and Cruxie shook hands.
[But, I am Lucas’s official wife, don’t forget]
[… ..L-Likewise, my feelings for Lucas-kun won’t lose to you!]
Suddenly the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
The eyes of each one scattered sparks.
Hey, hey, hey, is it a fierce battle between women i feared the most….?
[It’s a joke]
I thought so, but Aria looked at me, giggled a little, and stuck out her tongue.
[Do not worry. I feel like I’ll be able to get along with Cruxie]
[Yes! I feel the same too, Aria-san!]
Cruxie also drop her act and smiled.
[Kukuku, quite an enviable harem, Lucas]
The usual mischievous laugh broke out from somewhere.
Venus in her human form was standing by the bed.
[… ..Hm? Who is this girl?]
[I’m his daughter]
[Ehhhhhhhhhhhh !?]
[It is not like that. Hey Venus, what nonsense are you saying?]
I started to shook Venus’s head with my hand .
[It hurt! I-It was just a little joke! So stop shaking my head!]
When Venus hastily escaped from my grip… ..
[I am the divine sword, Venus Wict! A true and authentic sword of god created by the goddess of love and victory, Vigne!]
[Eh? Eh? Divine sword…?]
Facing Cruxie’s dubious eyes, Venus shifted into her sword form.
[The sword that Lucas-kun always uses?]
[Correct]
After reverting to her child form, Venus began to explain about the certain things and about the maidens.
[In other words, you too have become a new maiden!]
[Does that mean I can have an amazing weapon like the two of them….?]
[Umu, that’s right]
[Amazing]
[Then without further delay, I’ll give you your replica-venus!]
A light leaves the body of Venus and flows towards Cruxie.
As soon as I thought it had converged, a gauntlet appeared on Cruxie’s right arm.
[This is your replica-venus—– “Night of shadows”!]
[This is incredible. I can barely feel the weight]
Cruxie shook her arm.
She hasn’t used any weapons so far, but with that gauntlet she will be able to use it as an extension of her fighting style in battles.
[It’s 【unique ability】 is 〈Shadow Control〉. In simple words, it is the ability to manipulate shadows]
[Manipulate the shadows?]
